Jason makes amazing amps, and the P1 is no exception. An Alta 100 in a 1U preamp form. Tough to go wrong. A great compliment to your other rack preamps that also offers the amazing flexibility of Two Notes software.

Per Headfirst:
When Headfirst founder Jason Tong set out to design a new preamp solution for Slipknot’s Jim Root, the brief was simple yet uncompromising: deliver the unmistakable responsiveness and harmonic depth of the Alta100 head, but in a compact, tour-ready format that could run direct to front-of-house without compromise.
The result is the Alta P1 — a three-channel, all-tube preamp that fuses analog warmth with the flexibility of Two notes’ Torpedo Embedded technology. It’s a full-fledged direct-to-DAW/FOH/FRFR rig in a 2.2kg chassis, designed for the modern guitarist who needs the best of both worlds.
Armed with three 12AX7 preamp tubes, MIDI switching, Vintage/Modern voicing, and a Compression control per channel, the Alta P1 delivers an astonishing tonal range:
Channel 1 offers shimmering Fender-style cleans.
Channels 2 and 3 are lifted straight from the revered Alta100, delivering everything from classic crunch to modern high gain.
Beyond its analog core lies the Torpedo Embedded technology — the same digital engine trusted by professionals worldwide. Featuring the EL34 Alta100 tube power amp simulation, full access to DynIR cabinets, plus EQ, Enhancer, Stereo Reverb, Twin Tracker, and Noise Gate, this integrated system redefines hybrid tone shaping.
With stereo XLR outputs, dual FX loops, USB/Bluetooth connectivity, and global compatibility, the Alta P1 stands as a pinnacle of smart design — a preamp that replaces the traditional modeller while retaining every nuance of true tube performance
